Sponditious. They work for me fine on a MBP with OSX Mavericks. However on a white MB with OSX Lion (*) the install of DMD fails. The problem appears to be that Clang cannot link the object files since the object files are not built for x86 architecture – despite the processor being 64-bit, the boot prom is 32-bit and so OSX is 32-bit and reports the processor to be 32-bit, unlike the processor which knows it's 64-bit and reports so. As far as I can tell (log files are huge due to the huge numbers of warnings about expressions) all the clang++ lines have -DDM_TARGET_CPU_X86, so I am somewhat surprised. Of course I am really a Linux person being forced to set up OSX boxes for testing… > While updating Portfiles, I tried to build a shared library of druntime. > It turned out that I can't do so because druntime-2.065/src/rt/sections.d > line 48 > > static assert(is(typeof(&pinLoadedLibraries) == void* function())); > > returns an error and a dylib is not created. > This is because pinLoadedLibraries() is not defined in rt.sections_osx.d. > > I suggest to ask dmd developers to support shared libraries on OS X. I think this is a core problem for D in general: everyone needs or wants shared libraries, but… (*) Apple refuse to allow any upgrade of this hardware to OSX Mountain Lion or OSX Mavericks, so I am stuck with OSX Lion. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
